Ustadha found her inclination towards deen late in her teenage. This led her to explore deen from scratch, and so she strongly feels and believes this beautiful deen accepts whoever comes to it, however they are, in whichever form they are. Hence, many of her students feel at ease when talking to her as she firmly believes the deen of Allah ﷻ is open for all, and the love for Allah ﷻ and Rusoolullah ﷺ is embedded in everyone’s heart, its just a matter of recognising it and accepting it.
Fatimah Academy was the brainchild of Ustadha Umm Sufyan and Ustadha Umm Hurayrah, which they initiated when they came across each other on their journey of ’ilm. Especially Ustadha Umm Sufyan, whose zeal and enthusiasm is so inspirational that the idea for a Global Muslim Community was brainstormed and executed, and it became a catalyst for bringing Fatimah Academy into existence. With the du’as, permission, and guidance of their elders, Asataza, and Mashayekh. Alhamdulilah. May Allah ﷻ preserve them all and bless them with His acceptance, maghfirah, love, and tawajjuh. Aameen ya Rabb ul Alameen.
